Christmas With The Chosen

Looking for a perfect way to dive into Advent and kick off the Christmas season?

Find a way to go see The Chosen in theaters!

We started watching The Chosen back in February of 2020. Right before the world went nuts. Within 4 episodes, we decided to buy it on blu ray for ourselves, and for like 10 other people we wanted to gift it to, as well.

And someday in the near future, I will talk more about the show as a whole. But suffice to say that this show… this show, y’all… it’s beautiful. It’s epic. It’s life-changing and soul-shattering. It is everything a great show—a great story—should be, and more.

Wheel of Time: Episodes 1-4

So, the long-awaited Wheel of Time television adaptation is finally here!

I’ve been sort of… dreading? this series since I heard it was coming. A little backstory… I never watched even a single clip of Game of Thrones. One, I knew from what other people were saying that I wouldn’t appreciate the sexual content, and Two, I’d never read any of the books so I kinda didn’t care.

But when it comes to The Wheel of Time… well… I’ve read those books.

The Difficulty of Rest

I have a confession to make.

I often find it difficult to rest.

I get in the habit of work. The habit of go-go-going all the time. Pushing to a deadline. Pushing to an achievement. Pushing to accomplish something.

And that’s not all bad.

I have to set deadlines for myself, or I’d never get anything done.

But…

Know the Novel: Part 2

November is here!

And that means NaNoWriMo, which I have decided to participate in as a REBEL, which means that instead of having a goal of WRITING 50,000 words by the end of the month, I am hoping to EDIT 60,000 words and finish this first pass of edits on Towers of Might and Memory, the fifth book in my Turrim Archive series!

This link-up is a beautiful and fun 3-part blogging prompt that my dear friend Christine created a few years ago.
